CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Indicator Light will blink “Green” under normal operation. It will flicker “Red” when stimulation is applied and will blink “Red” when recharging is required. We recommend you fully charge your e-collar every six months when not in use to maintain battery life.

Charging the Batteries
The indicator light will turn solid red during the 10 to 12 hour charge cycle and stay red even though the unit is fully charged.
•
Battery Care:It is important to fully charge the batteries and fully discharge them for the first three uses. After that it is not necessary to fully discharge the batteries with each use, because NiMH do not exhibit “memory effect” like other rechargeable battery types. It is recommended that every six months you recondition the batteries by fully discharging them and then fully charging them, this will ensure you get the rated 500 charges per battery.

Button Functions
The ET-1200A transmitter is equipped with four control buttons, LCD display, and an adjustable dial. For long range use hold the transmitter up like the Statue of Liberty and never allow the antenna to touch anything as it will decrease the range. Power lines and foliage will also reduce the range.

Einstein Owner's Manual ET-1200A
Momentary Button “M” - Sends a short pulse of stimulation to the collar receiver. Continuous Button “C”- Sends stimulation to the collar receiver for the duration of the
button being pressed.- After 10 seconds the Over-Stimulation feature will stop the stimulation until the button is released and pressed again.
Booster Feature - When both stimulation buttons are pushed the collar receiver will administer a stimulation level 25 higher than the present setting. The LCD will briefly display the additional stimulation level. - This feature is useful when your dog is comforted with an irresistible distraction and a quick response is needed. Please do not overuse this feature.
Tone Button “T”- Sends education tone to the collar receiver.- After 1.25 seconds of holding down the education tone the collar will administer a stimulation as long the button remains pressed providing “Pavlovian Conditioning”.

15CHANGING THE INTENSITY LEVEL OF STIMULATION
Rotating clockwise increases the stimulation level and conversely, rotating counter-clockwise lowers the stimulation level.
It is highly recommended that the user practices changing levels and modes before putting the collar receiver on the dog.
Setting the correct stimulation level for your dog is very important. To set your “conditioning” stimulation level, put the collar receiver (see page 22 for proper fitting technique) on your dog. Let him/her get used to the collar receiver for a couple of hours. While watching your dog, turn the level to “0” and press the continuous button. Slowly turn the stimulation up at a rate of approximately 2-3 levels per second. When your dog first perceives the stimulation, usually between 15 and 40, release the button. This is your “conditioning” stimulation level. You may need to add a few levels later as your dog becomes more conditioned to the stimulation. The “conditioning” stimulation is used when the trainer wants to use the stimulation in continuous mode.
Changing the Intensity Level of Stimulation
Einstein Owner's Manual ET-1200A
16CHANGING THE INTENSITY LEVEL OF STIMULATION
For example, if you want your dog to come to you and heel, you can hold the button down until your dog comes and heels or if jumping is an issue, you can hold the button down anytime their front paws are off the ground.
Setting the “Corrective” stimulation level is a little more difficult due to the wide differences in temperaments and stimulation tolerance among the many breeds of dogs. On average, it is normally 20 to 40 levels higher than the “Conditioning” level. This higher level will only be used in “Momentary” mode as not to over-stimulate your dog. This mode is used for stopping unwanted behaviors such as chewing, digging, street-running, excessive barking, and aggressiveness, etc. It is important to apply the “Momentary” stimulus at the exact time of the unwanted behavior. Additional pulses may be used to reinforce the command if compliance is not immediate.

IMPORTANT TRAINING TIP
E-Collars should be used to reinforce commands your dog already knows. It is not a replacement for basic leash obedience training, but a tool to allow you to better communicate to your dog. For best results, use the least amount of stimulation required to get compliance from your dog. A calm and consistent approach to training will always produce better long term results. It is highly recommended that aggressive dogs be taken to a professional trainer for evaluation before e-collar use.
There are many different e-collar training techniques recommended by a variety of professional trainers. We beleive you, the owner of the dog, can best determine the most successful technique for your dog. YouTube has many videos demonstrating these varying techniques by simply searching "e-collar training" or "remote dog training techniques".
Good Luck with your training!

20TESTING YOUR Einstein
Snap the test light onto the contact points as shown in the above figure. With both units on and green lights flashing press the continuous stimulation button while turning the stimulation up and down, the test should brighten as you go higher in stimulation. The collar receiver light will flicker red while the stimulation is on. Next, push the tone button to test the tone feature. Your Einstein E-Collar is ready to use.

21REPLACING THE CONTACT POINT
Replacing the Contact Point
The standard 5/8” contact points are used for most dogs. Thicker fur breeds require the longer 3/4” contact points.Replace the 5/8” contact points by following the instructions below using the enclosed contact point tool.
Loosen both contact points by rotating the contact point counter-clockwise using the contact point tool.
Install the 3/4” contact points onto the bolt and tighten the contact points by rotating them clockwise with the contact point tool.

22CORRECTLY FITTING THE COLLAR
Correctly Fitting the Collar
Too tight poses the risk of skin irritation and discomfort. Too loose and the contact points will not be able to administer the stimulation reliably. The optimal position for the collar receiver is on either side of the dog’s windpipe.
IMPORTANT NOTICETo prevent the occurrence of skin irritations the Collar Receiver should never be worn for more than 12 hours per day. Should your dog experience skin irritations from over exposure to the contact points remove the collar receiver unit immediately and stop using your e-collar until all skin irritations are totally healed. Antibiotic ointment will aid in the healing process. Some dog breeds have very thick fur that requires special contact points, please contact our customer service or visit www.ecollar.com for more information.
The collar should be adjusted to allow the “contact points” to have direct contact with the skin. You should be able to fit a couple of fingers between the collar strap and your dog.
